  • Dear America and Alaska,

    1. Thanks for watching me on Conan. I'm assuming you tuned in for Ludacris, and stuck around for me. But whatever the case, you can watch it here on Myspace. Also, yesterday I was named the MySpace "featured comedian!" This honor has been compared to the Oscars, the Emmy's, and the MySpace "featured musician."

    2. We have new shirts for Sleepwalk with Me! "Shirts in the winter?" you ask. Well, what do you wear under your sweater? (pause) I thought so.

    3. Thanks to everybody who has come out to the first 2 weeks of Sleepwalk. We're still going strong. And by strong, I mean weak yet hilarious. Hey look, these blogs liked it!

    Thanks Blogosphere! And now a new journal entry...



  • Dear Journal,

    I just returned from 9 cities in 11 days. Though I'm tired, I've returned with stories. In week 1, we rented a bus and hired a driver. The idea behind the driver is that we sleep while the driver drives through the night. The problem is that last week, while we were sleeping in the back, he started to doze off in the front. So both the back and front were asleep, leaving only the people staring at our bus swerving off the road who were awake. We knew this because we started to hear more and more of that "rumble strip" rumbling, and that's never a good thing. It's never like, "Oh, that pleasant rumbling! Our bus driver is probably taking a short cut through the woods!" The upside of this, had he driven off the road, would have been that we'd have died in our sleep. Of course there'd be that confusion if we show up at the Pearly gates and we explain to St. Peter that, in fact, we're just dreaming. And he says, "No, you're actually dead." And we say, "Of course we're not dead. We hired a driver to stay awake so we wouldn't die." And St. Peter would be like, "He's right behind you."
